We now know that there are additional lesions.
0:04
Let me show you examples of these.
0:07
This is a volar capsular detachment
0:10
where the disc attaches to the capsule,
0:13
and this is what it looks like.
0:14
This taken from the literature showing you the edema
0:17
between the disc and the joint capsule.
0:21
This is a similar lesion,
0:22
this one taken from an exhibit at the RSNA.
0:25
This is a dorsal capsular detachment.
0:29
You can see the edema in this area between the disc
0:33
and the dorsal capsule.
0:35
This is my cadaver.
0:36
It doesn't quite fit the bill,
0:38
but at least we have a lesion close to that region.
0:43
There is another lesion
0:44
that's called a dorsal carpal detachment.
0:47
Here's what it looks like in the coronal plane.
0:50
The, uh, failure right at this triquetral attachment,
0:53
also known as thei kawa lesion.
0:59
There are two types of bucket handle tears.
1:02
One of them shown here is an intradiscal, uh,
1:06
bucket handle tear right in the disc.
1:09
Here's an example of what that might look like.
1:12
The second is more complicated.
1:15
That's taken from a rad source, uh, article or,
1:18
and you can see it's between the disc
1:21
and the radi nerve ligament.
1:22
In this case, the volar radi nerve ligament.
1:25
So here's the tear or separation. Here's the disc.
1:29
Here's the volar radi nerve ligament. Same thing here.
1:33
Here's the tear between the disc
1:35
and the volar radial in their ligament.
1:39
There are two types of flap tears that have been described.
1:44
One of 'em is a distal flap tear shown here,
1:49
where a portion of the TFC is displaced into the pre
1:54
reset, and in this case also
1:57
with the dorsal radial nerve ligament.
1:59
So here's the abnormal tissue. That's the pre recess.
2:04
Here is the abnormal tissue in the pre recess.
2:08
And then the other one, which I have encountered in several
2:11
examples, is proximal displacement
2:16
of a flap of the triangular fibrocartilage.
2:19
So you will see it in the distal radio on the joint, either
2:23
as a linear or as a kind of a oval,
2:28
uh, area of low signal intensity.
